Amazing little gem. Get one.

By Jimmy James Ranked #53 - Hydration Packs - Small October 29, 2011

Sometimes I'm blown away by some of the gear that's available these days and with the Montara, that's the case. I paid just under 25 bucks for the grey and orange model here on backcountry.com and this thing is the bomb! It's not designed for all day ultra marathoners...it's like a Mini Hydration pack. For short length cardio, hikes of a few hours or so, that kind of thing, that's exactly what makes this work. Small, 41 oz. reservoir, but multiple stash pockets for things like trail mix, energy bars, nuts, keys, a small cell phone, even some credit cards if you need it for an exploratory jaunt through the big city. It's got great length to the hydration tube, nice clips and cinches all over to keep things tight and in order. Unbelievably well designed! The colors look great too and like all Camelbak gear, a lifetime warranty. Couple that with backcountry's insano return policy and this fanny hydration system is the rat's ying yang. It weighs around 3 lbs with the hyrdation bladder filled, so honestly it's difficult to tell that one is wearing it. Can't wait to try it out when I go snowshoeing in the ADK's this winter. Buy away and enjoy.
